Q: What's the difference between the government and the Mafia?
A: After you pay off the Mafia, they leave you alone. And they don't shoot your dog, your kids or your great-grandfather.
Her money was being held hostage since March of 2012.
How much of the million in tips she took in did she pay taxes on?
Its never a good idea to have too much cash laying around - it could be stolen.
Especially by the Government.
Did she have it all packed into her G-string at the time? ;-)
The cops owe her INTEREST on that money during the time they held it.
They also should go to her house and family and APOLOGIZE.
NEVER give cops permission to search ANYTHING!
EVER!!!!
I’m not saying the cops had a right to take the money, but I have trouble believing this money was saved up after 15 years.
A dog will alert to a ham sandwich.
Reminds me of the old joke of the hooker that got caught with $330.01.
The cop asks her, who gave you the penny?
She says “all of them”
Was this on the Dave Ramsey Show ?
$67K a year for 15 years. IRS is interested?
She is very, very lucky to get her money back. Usually when a citizen is so unfortunate as to fall into the control of bad, corrupt cops... the citizen’s valuables just disappear forever.
(I very much respect and am thankful for good, honest police... the above comment is not about them.)
Some observations:
1. Wow, hand $1,000,000 over to a friend to drive it to NJ. Sounds like Indian names, if so; very trustworthy culture.
2. On most traffic stops, cops should not have dogs with them. Saying no to a search is always an option.
3. The “state” should pay interest to hold the cash.
4. What were the sellers going to do with the cash? Deposits to a bank account risk IRS audit.
This is effing wrong....hope jbtlickers are happy
Busy little beaver...
Cops in Nebraska must really be honest. I can think of lots of places I’ve been where she never would have been heard from again, the car would have been found torched in the woods someplace, and two cops would have disappeared without a trace to live out their days on a beach in Rio.
Sadly enough the IRS will be banging at her door and it will be expensive —
I’ll be happy to be the one to return it to her...a dollar at a time.
Why was it even a QUESTION on whether or not she got her money back?
